Converting a tabitem to a window

Question

Suppose I have a TabControl with some TabItem s, each tab Item contains a UserControl .

Is there a way to convert the TabItem to a window when its dragged outside the application window and vice versa?

Just like google chrome except that the window will only contain what was inside the TabItem .

Any ideas on how to achieve this?

Answer 1

If you are using an MVVM pattern, you should be able to do this:

When you drag the tab item out of the tab control, send a command to the VM to which creates a new window, passes the original datasource from the view (the tab item) to the window, then remove the tab item from its parent (the tab control) via a command to the parent VM.
